'any man is liable to err, but only a fool persists in error.' - cicero
a nice quote i picked up from reading krish's blog today.
it kinda' got me thinking about how often i re-make the same mistakes i've made.
and in that same sense, how often i avert them.
i remember tw asking me once (totally out of the blue):
"how often do you make mistakes? like, what is your frequency of making mistakes, or in a simpler sense, how many mistakes do you make per day?"
and it was really difficult to answer because there are just so many ways of defining the term 'mistake'.
in the end, i guess if we don't nitpick and include all the minor mundane daily acts of absentmindedness like forgetting to charge your ipod the previous night (would you count this as a 'mistake'?), then i suppose i don't really make mistakes too often.
perhaps it's because i overthink the outcomes of each and every scenario, and this could be a bad thing because we often find that the happiest people are the ones who are simpleminded and easily contented - the 'happy-go-lucky' bunch who don't fret nor regret.
or perhaps it's just 'cause i'm overly afraid of making mistakes?
desperately against being the 'fool' in cicero's quote?
who knows.
and then almost readily, another question would be "why?"
but that would double the length of this post so, nah.
oh and another thing: year 2 sem 1 ended today sigh...
(lol why the gloomy tone?)
well, at first all i thought about was the end, the holidays, the celebrating etc.
and sure as hell, it defo feels good that studying is fina-f*cking-lly over and the holidays are hereeeeeee!
but just like that... another semester passes by...
and honestly, i wish my uni life wouldn't go by so quickly |:

all the stars are out tonight, it feels as though i might
make some sense out of this madness, will it turn out right?
who's to say where the wind will blow?
time will tell us if we're out of answers when it stops
climb back down to the beginning, take it from the top
who's to say where the wind will blow?
what happens when all your dreams are lying on the ground?
do you pick up the pieces all around?
and if the world should fall apart, hold on to what you know
take your chances, turn around and go
all the leaves are turning and the sky fades to gray
strange our life coincides with the seasons of today
who's to say where the wind will blow?
carry on, you say
bring the best of today
all i see is struggling on the way
maybe when the sun
crashes through the gray
i can find the strength to make it through the day
i can find the strength to make it through the day
through the day
